The Acolyte
IMDB gave this a 3.5, IGN a 6/10, and Rotten Tomatoes an 80%. Where this show excels is the fighting. There are multiple outstanding fight scenes that are so cool. Where this show fails is the acting and the poorly written characters.

The Evil That Men Do
This book was interesting without the gruesomeness that you get from other books about serial criminals. This is also a little more informative and clinical then other books as it is talking about what investigators should look for, the pitfalls of certain investigations.

Ep 3 - Assassin's Creed Shadows... Ubisoft's Jesus?
Assassin’s Creed is my favorite video game series of all time and with the release of AC Shadows coming up and now being officially delayed, we discuss what the AC series has done right, wrong, or just screwed up entirely while discussing whether AC shadows will renew the AC series.

Glass Onion
The setting is also really cool. I mean who doesn't love seeing what a billionaire with a more money than they know what to do with does with a house. I mean Edward Norton has a Porsche just sitting on his roof, because "There is no where to drive it on the island." Yeah that makes sense.
Books
A Dance of Dragons
This book has to be the longest book that serves no purpose other than to be long. Characters are introduced that die, others are given a more prominent story section than in previous books, but play no big part. 900/1000 pages of nothing.
Movies
Expend4bles
Just like the previous 3 Expendables, it is entertaining, but not going to win an award even if all movies on earth just died. Its dumb for sure, but nice to watch when you are on a plane. This is an Expendables movie. There is a lot of action, raunchy jokes, and that is about it.
Books
The Main Enemy
I wish I had started with this book for my spy history series that I have stumbled into. It covers so much information with such clarity. The writing of the book is so well presented that you get to feel the headaches and frustrations as well as the triumphs of each team, both the CIA and KGB.
Video Game
Star Wars Outlaws
This game had so much potential that it could have been good. With beautiful scenery, sound design, and some great NPC companion-esq characters it could have easily been a 30 hours heist game. Ubisoft's and Massive's ambition was just outweighed by wanting to do quantity rather than quality.

Ep 2 - Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
All three of us love Star Wars. So why not start off our first movie conversation with our love and hate of the Skywalker Saga. There are so many things that this movies series did for the industry and so many things that didn't go over well. Well between these things, we talk about the movies ...
Books
The Terminal List
This book is such a well written piece of fiction that I am really surprised it took so long to become a TV Show. What I think slowed it down and in turn brings the book down is how depressing and callus the bad guys and friends are.
Movies
Gran Turismo
Since this based on a true story I was really quite surprised at the presence of the story. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was an entertaining movie set in the modern day that anyone could enjoy no matter your background of enjoyment of racing or video games.
